I use one for drilling blanks.
The tail stock seems sloppy as to where it clamps down and as a result the hole starts off center and is larger that the exit hole.
Has anyone figured out a way to eleminate the slop and align the tail stock so that it clamps down and will drill a hole precisely on dead center?
Am I asking to much from this low end wood lathe?
I have a nice bench top Metal lathe but dont have a four jaw chuck for it to hold a square blank for drilling.
